[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay ours $750/week and she works between 40 and 50 hours a week (40 during normal school weeks and 50 if kids aren't at school) and have the same amenities (separate apartment), utilities etc included. She's American, experienced and educated.

Before anyone above gets excited, we have it in our contract as $15/hour for 50 hours a week (though we often don't use all of those hours), and time and a half does not apply to live-in employees in DC. I believe that it does in MD. (I have sought legal advice on this and do my nanny's taxes through HomeWorkSolutions who have provided the same advice). [/quote]

OP: Thanks for the insight and for the tip towards HomeWorkSolutions. I've looked at them at a similar service through Care.com, do you find it to be worthwhile and valuable?

[quote=Anonymous]Our G4 live-in nanny gets $7/hr for our 3 kids. 40 hours/week now that kids are in school.

If 2 kids are normally 850-950 a week live out I'd do 2/3s of that for live in. or half if you are providing all the food and amenities plus living arrangement.

your living arrangement for nanny en suite sounds fabulous. [/quote]

Appreciate your feedback. Those rates for a live-in are right about what we anticipated. We got really lucky with the en suite set-up here - it was definitely designed with nanny/in-laws in mind![/quote]

So very interesting that you chose the lower rate to be thankful for that response.  That is a very low wage even for a live-in  You are focusing only on what you are offering as regards accommodations.   Can you also consider it from your potential nanny end with the restrictions that do come with being a live-in and consider a better rate.  Also if you are looking for a nanny who would stay with your family and not always be on the look out for a better offer[/quote]
